Re: Indian Women's Cricket
This one we choked. The women's team is young. They will learn how to handle pressure and mentally cope with the demands of the end overs of a final.

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
A special innings from Harmanpreet against England today. Scored 143 off 111 deliveries to power India to 333 in 50 overs. The final 43 runs from Harmanpreet's bat came off just 11 deliveries...

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
India won the series 3-0. Deepti Sharma ran out Charlie Dean backing up( the old "mankad").
All British people are invoking the sprit of the game. Its an absolutely shallow argument. It is in the rule book and hence there is nothing wrong here. I wonder what used to happen to the spirit of the game when people knew they edged the ball and never walked. In any case let such spirit be damned; umpires and rules are there for a reason and should be followed.

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
Batters who are cheating and preventing runouts by taking advantage should be runout. If the spirit of the game is to enable cheats, then it is high time to stop it. A lot of things from our past are junk and need reform.

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
On a different note, what an innings in the previous match by Harmanpreet. It has been a long time since we have seen such an innings from a Kohli or Rohit in England. This team white-washed England on their own soil after the start of the tour was a bit wobbly. Great job! We don't get such performances from our men's team anymore. Kapil, Chetan, Madanlan's India actually thrashed England in tests one summer. That was fun to watch. Unfortunately, I don't remember seeing anything similar after that.

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
The Brits are no longer relevant..... with an idiot as king, their monarchy too has become irrelevant. Their sense of humour though remains top class as do their content on OTT platforms. Rest all useless. I doubt there is anything else they excel in. Pkb may enlighten.

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
Huh? Something is illegal if it is against the law. Which law was it violating? Illegality does not have anything wrt "clear view" etc. Even then, running the non-striker out was allowed by the laws of cricket. If it was not, the umpires would not have given them out. The ICC just renamed that method of getting a batsman out and moved it to a different section and relabeled it to avoid the useless controversy created by the Westerners who want to keep cheating and intimidate people not to run them out when they are cheating.

Re: Indian Women's Cricket
I do not think it was against the spirit of the game. Cheating is against the spirit of the game and taking off before you are legally allowed is cheating. Breaking the rules is cheating. It is a weird anomaly because players did not really care about a feet here and a feet there in a gentleman's game played on a leisurely afternoon. You cheat a bit it's okay I suppose. W.G. Grace was bolwed or something like that and he said he would bat on because people came to see him bat. When the game became a game of inches, players started backing up more and more and the pot-bellied cricketer got replaced by these lean and mean athletes except those named Rohit, who got to retain the potbellied culture. There was this thread on twitter that analyzed how many times the English lady cheated in order to get to strike and not get out when she started batting with the tail. Mankading was never against the spirit of the game. It was against the custom of letting cheats cheat and ignoring them because it is a little "white cheating".
